Evidently our Local House has awoke to the knowledge that It likes the other raau best We ware paver yet able to find bow er lu what way a farm­ er’s sen paying no taxes was better able or anymore competent to vote than a store­ keeper's or a professional man's son, in tha same category, and yat, by tho recent Act, farmer's sons are given the franchise, and all others not paying the requisite taxes to entitle them to vote are left out in the cold. We do not begrudge the farmer’s eons who pay no taxes their being allowed to vote, but wo do find fault with the class distinction made, and the animosity likely to be engendered by such classification. If the tax paying qualification for voting is to be obsofoto, let the line lu* drawn equitably, and with as great a show of justice as pos- sible. Let education be the tost, but by all means keep without the range of the fran­ chise those who, by want of education, vote not according to their consciences but for those who pay best. ». W.

What a crime, surely Sir John was guilty and he ought to ba put on the gridiron and given a baking for such indiscretion. Why didn't ho take the list of contributions and fhave it thoroughly canvassed by the mer­ cantile agency before accepting a dollar of it ? Why didn’t he refuse it and toll the doners he could not accept it m they might all be bankrupt* before long 1 Why didn't he line his pockets if they were to bo lined as his successor has Jone, by giving fat contracts to his brothers cud then after he is out of his offij* divide up tho awag ? That's business. When t hebe's a calm it is always either Eiicceodod by a storm or the calm eontinuos, and this may bo said to be typical of the state of Europe at the present moment. Of late, since the breaking up of tho confer­ ence, there has been a dead calm, nothing in the meantime transpiring to give an inkling of what may tako place within the next few days. Nover did uncertainty, as to what tho future might bring forth, roign more supremo and it would be rash to fore­ cast what to-morrow might bring forth. When the nows does como of tho declara­ tion of war between Russia ami Turkey, hostilities will doubtless have commenced. Both Governments are concentrating their forces on either side of tho dividing lino be­ tween tho two countries. In Europe and Asia if they are not already they will very shortly bo within a day's march of each otaer, so that but a few hours will elapso between the declaration of war and down right bard fighting . In tha event of war, Russia would labor under the disadvantage of the scenes of action lying far from the sources of supply. She would nt tho outset doubtless outgeneral her adversaries, but war makes generals, and, although wo are apt to despise tho Turks, they have over proved efficient soldiers when left to their own resources. On the water Turkey has a decided advantage, and has wherewith to blockade all the Russian ports of the Jllack S. a, and her command of the Dardanelles would prevent Russia acquiring any sup­ plies by that route. Should war break out between these two powers, although tha present determination of the other Euro­ pean powers is to let them fight it out, it cannot be imagined that they would not be drawn into the vortex, which could not but result in a general European war, and an alteration in the present maps of Europe, Asia end Africa. Tho effect in this country of war breaking out in Europa would bo magical; prosperity would reign supreme; there would bo no further talk of dull times;' tho price of every commodity would in­ crease, and only complaints would come fani those who have salaric* or stated in-. • >mo3 to live ou. direction tha stolon funds bad gone; have declared that bo wonll never dare to face tho charge, and that he should be driven into "exile 1” The Premier has himself given tho lie to all this by the words quoted. Ho haw, in fact, borne testimony, though with evident reluctance, that the aspersions that were current during the earlier part of tho week wore as groundlessas they were wicked, and that tbe press at ’ his bock has been engaged in the congenial I task of slandering the mau who enjoy* pre­ eminently the confidence of the people. And new the matters have reached such a pass what will tho public think of it ? Will it not be apparent to them that a determina­ tion exists to attempt the ruin of Sir John, no matter by whaf means. That a plot is by common consent afoot among the Grits to heap abuse and slander upon him, see­ ing they have not been able to shake bis integrity or cope with his abilities 1 Such will undoubtedly be tho conclusipu, and with it will come that Complete revuHiqu iu feeling which has already so largely manifested itself, aud will placed tha leader of the Opposition ou a still higher pinnacle of approval than he has yet attained.” LA T ES T H E W S BY TELEGRAPH. ,,p*,u, di’p*oxtod*Trtta?jru Lu*to *** EyjagsINDg Xte«tos hi (he Eplicspsl Ctardi EPirans of meits.

TheM statements have been folly cmroborsted. Neysb was a more barc-faeed slander ’ perpetrated and npvcr was one more effectu­ ally refuted and burned than has been the secret senice fund scandal, whichthe opponents of Sir John Macdonald ’ would like to see, and which they have 1 done all they eould to attached to his name. ' It was only necessary for an irresponsible correspondent of ths Toronto Grit organ to set the scandal afloat and tho whole pack of followers, like so mauy hungry blood hounds let loose their vile bowlings and rushed on blindly and madly adding accusa­ tion to accusation without regard to truth or common sens*. Not one among them had lbs manliness to arrest their judgment in opler that the accused might explain or defend himself. No, it was too rich a • morsel to let slip from ihoir hungry maws. Their pjwer of imigination was allowed its utmost scope and they attempted to cram their fictitious down for truths. No sooner had tho unscrupulous penny-a-liner stated that Sir John had lobbied a lot of money than they were prepared to tell what had been done with it. Some said ho had bought shares in the Moil newspaper with it, that ho had paid his subscription to tha U. E. Club with a portion of jt. They declared that he would not dars to meet the House again ; that if bo did he should be expelled as he had done that which desapred such a penalty. All this aud more to was driveffed out by this gang of pwuh (?) *Aud after such an exhibition, what turns out to have teen tha Lets ?

That a regular and separate account bad aven bean kept in tha Bank of Montreal concern­ ing ik That a cousiderabl* batenoe remain­ed to tha credit of tha Fund there; and I that Sir John had actually waited upon Mr. Mackenzie at his of^ga to consult him with regard to the disposition of a portion xf that balance, and to make him aaquaint- ed with the eireumstanses under whish tha Fund had been dhspaused ; though refusing, very properly, to divulge the nemos of the individuals who bad, daring a vary momentous period, rendered tha country good aerviM by supplying special and secret information to the governmaaL And ao falls to the growl tha whale fabric of has whjeb the prjia had reared by which to crush tha man who they know the ' people Jove, and whom, as a eousaquenae, they themaalvM hate.

Jones, a clerk in the Consoli­ dated Bank, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver this morning. The deed was evidently pre­ meditated. Hs retired- about eleven o’clock to the cellar below the bank build­ ing and lying down on his back on two' boxes, placed his hat and gloves beneath his head and shot himself through the right temple with a largo Smith & Wesson seven ahoofor. He was discovered soon after by Mr. S. 8. Wallbridge and the porter, and Dr. Wilson was sent for who pronounced tho wound fatgl, although up to the time of sending this dispatch (1'2.15) he is still breathing. Mr. Jones wh> wus a native of Brookville was twenty - five years old. The only causa asrigaad for his act is liquor, as ha ha! been drinking heavily of late. His accounts are said to be all right. The Washington Cabinet has decided to recognize the Packard Govt, after ths Free- idcnilal court is fiaished.

There wore two cl.resos or , parties there. On one baud were 850 false prophets, backed up by the regal power bythe wealth aud inflnoncs of the mlion. On the .other band there stood ona solitary man of God, and around about ware gath­ered a great crowd, ns yet undecided wh 0'1side to array. It is in those circamstauaes that Elijah uttsrs the words I h ave quoted and earnestly plead, with tlmi to taketheir staud either for Dial or for G >d. Now it was not whvthertbis miserable dritymade of stone should rule the nation that 1 th\v were to decide. In th-rt they had n » difficulty. They did not doubt that Jehovah 1 wire Goa, for tncy bad too many proofs of His existence in their national history, and ] preservation through all its viscissitude*It was whether they wore to continue to lworship Baal, because it was popular to do so, and because the great multitude didso. Al! along tho spiritual history of our race the fow have been right, and themany have been wrong, and so it. was in ' the case of tho Jewish nation at tho time 1 referred to. Tho preacher then drew a contrast between the scouo depicted on 1Mount Carmel and that now before him. i My ministry among you, he Raid, exist? but for a few moments. I see men and ,women halting hetwean two opinions, not , becanso they don't bolioVo thu} Christ if* Christ and God is God. We have too manyplain evidences to the contrary. S nno men , ara drawing long faces and uttering say­ ings about our Christianity and its influencein arresting mfilelity. Tho church has not lost its power ia the world, and never can lose it. And why. because it h a mis­ sion of love and reconciliation to tbe Father.It appeals to the wants of fallen hmqanity.and as long as the heart of man remains tha ;amo ; as long as tears fl jw, heartsgrow weary, and bereavements take place; •0 long as the light is allowed to flow into the body God bath made, just so long willman find that there are sorrows tor which the world caq give no cqre; that there are want? wtych infidelity can neversupply. And so long as the heart exists tha causa of Christ must triumph oyer every spesies of opposition. The difficultywith many in the future will be whether it is advisable to be a clinstian. What keeps many back is not theyaro sceptical whetherconversion is a reality or not. It is a tre- mendaus reality. It is ho argument against Christianity that many who have professsdit have folleu away. So long ar men do live true Christian lives, you can have no right to refuse their testimony. Tua truthlies in the fool that you <lonrt wish to b« converted. Meq and women standing ou both sides of the hill of lite, I appeal to youto state which'side you are on. Probably soma of you thiuk you Leva got to tha sum­ mit, and have got a long bright day tospend before you g it to the foot. I don’t know; I am not old but I may never seaanother year ef service for Christ. We area'dpassing towards death and I wonder bow wa will all approach it. The waitra of death arc no bathing place in wh.ch wemay wash and ba clean. As a man Ivire so shall ha die, and ro shall the judgmentfind him. My message to yeu tonight therefore to say wether you will accept God aa your friend for time and eternity, o’>whether you would rather choose your own idols. I f God ba God follow him; but if your idols be yoqr God follow them. Youngmen, young woman, it U foolish for yon t > eomeagain anti again to tha bonsaof God if you hava not decided this question. It ia asad thing to have one yoq loved tarnine round and proving folsa. Bnt there ia something worse than a Lite friend, andthat is a tales God. Tbe preacher proceeded to give numarona(instances of what the a lopffon of Christian­ ity had dona for bad nfan relating tha ex­ perience of ona of tho worst men of Pbha-delphia,who had bean converted, wiQ the result that 75 mao ia the same work attri­buted their becoming Christian^ to bit eo- daavora.

After several years of experimenting, Mr.Jones, in 1871. secured a patent for a pro­ cess whereby he wnirauts that eggs may be so perfectly kept for two years or more,that people cannot tell them from eggs recently laid, and this claim seems to bsfolly substantiated by the testimony of many well known and most respectable citizens of London, who have bought andused tho eggs after they have been thus preserved.

CHAPTER VII. 1 men and women of intenraly tllyj omotionial nature, it *ome- , time* happen* that a day of (keen and torturing eusponae, (or a nighl'a vigil of-*'*at anguish, wars and , dsrkem a countenance more indelibly thanthe lapae of aaveral ordinary monotonous ; years; and aa Madamo Orme eat in her re­ ception room at one o'clock in the following ,afternoon, awaiting the visit of the Minis- (ter, the blanched face was far atorner and jprouder than when-yesterday’s *nn rip- j pled across it, and bluish ihadpws beneath , the large eyes that had not closed for twenty- .four hours, lent them a deeper aud more . fetoful glow.The soft creamy folds of her Cashmere .robe were relieved at the throat by a knot i of lilao ribbon, and amid it* loop* wore se­cured clusters of violets, that matched' in hue the long spike of hyacinth which was , fastened to one side of the coiled hair, ,twined just behind the ear, and drooped low on the snowy neck. Before her on a ) gilded stand, was the purple pyramid of ,flowers she had brought from the theatre, , and beside (hem lay several perfumed envo-lopes with elaborate monograms. These notes contained tributes of praise from fctrangers wLo had been fascinated by her“ Amy Rosbart,” and begged the honor of ’ an interview, or the favor of a “photograph taken in the silken cymar which so advan­tageously displayed the symmetry of her figure." Amonr< the latter she had recognized thohandwriting of Mr. Laurance, though tho signaturj was “Jules Duval,” and her fingers had shrunk from tue folds of rosepaper, os though scorched by flame. Lying there on the top of the billetx-doux, 'theelegait graceful ehirography of the" Maiame Odille Orme” drew her gaze like ths loathsome fascination of a basilisk,and taking a package of notes from her pocket Sheffield them for a moment close to t ta satin envelope. Upon one the name ofthe popular Actres*,—on the others—in the same peculiar beautiful characters,—“ Min­ nis Merle." She put away the latter, anda flash of scorn momentarily lighted her rigid fuco. ‘ Craven as of old I Too cowardly toboldly ask the thing his fickle fancy favors —ho begs un ler borrowed names. Doubt­ less his courage wilts before his swarthy,bold-eyed Xantippe, who allows him scant latitude for flirtations with pretty aclressw.To be thrown aside,1—trampled down— for such a creature 03 Abbio Ames 1—his coarse featured—dianiond-doworcd—bride 1 Ahl my veins rui lava, when I think of her thick heavy lips—pressing that haughtyperfect miutli, where mine ones clung so fondly I Last night the two countenances seem like—" as Hyperion to a Satyr 1”How completely lie sold his treacherous beauty to tho Banker's daughter, whom to- day ho would willingly betray, for a fairer,fresher fuco. Craven traitor 1 Sbo passed her handkerchief across her lips, as if to efface some imaginary slain,and they slowly settled back into their cus­ tomary stern curves.1 Just then a timid tap upon the door ofthe reception room, was followed almost simultaneously by tho entrance ->t Mrs. Waul, who held a card in her hand.• The waiter has just brought this up. What answer shall he take back ?’ Mrs. Orme glanced at it, sprung to herfeet and a vivid scarlet bathed her face and neck. •Tell him—Nol no—ao! MadamoOrmobegn to decline tho honor.' Then the crimson tide as suddenly ebbed she grew ghastly in her colorlessness, andher bloodless lips writhed, as she called after the retreating figure: • Stop I Come back,—let mo think.*Sho walked to the window, and stood for several moments as still as the bronze Mer­ cury on the mantel. When sbo turnedaround her features were os fixed os if they beloaged to some sculptured slab from Per- sepolis.‘ Pray don't think me weak and fickle, but indeed Mrs. Waul, some of my laurels gosh like a crown of thorns. Tell thewaiter to show this visitor up after five minutes,—and then I wish you to come back and sit with your knitting yonder, attho end of the room. And please drop the curtain there,—the pink silk Will make me look a trifle loss ghostly, after last night'swork. You see I am disappointed, I ex­ pected the American Minister on business, and ho soada this Paris beau, to make hisapologies—that is all." As the old lady disappeared, Mrs. Orme shuddered and muttered with clenched teeth :• All have a Gethsemane sooner or Inter, —and mine baa overtaken mo before I amquits ready. God grant me some strength­ ening Angel 1’ She sank back into the arm-chair, anddrew tho oval gilt table before her as a barrier,—while some inexplicable, intuitive impulse prompted her to draw from herbosom n locket containing Regina's minia­ ture. Touching a spring, she looked at the childish features so singularly like thoseshe had seen the previous evening,—and when Mrs. Waul returned and seated her­ self nt the end of the room,—tho springsnapped, the locket lay in one hand, the Minister’s cord in the other. Mrs. Orme hoard the sound on the stairsand along the hall,—tho well-remembered »tep. Amid the tramp of a hundred she could have singled it out,—so often in by­gone years had she crouched under the lilacs that overhung the gale,—listening lor its rapid approach,—waiting to throwherself into the arms that would clasp her sb fondly, to-day lhatunaltered step smote her ears like an echo from the tomb, andfor an itulant her heart stood still, aud sheshut h»r eyes,—but the door swung back and Mr. Laurance stood upon the thres­hold. As he advanced, she rose, and when he stood before her with outstretched hand, she ignored it,—merely rested her palmon the table between them; and glancing at the card in her fingers, said: • Mr. Laurence I believe,—introduced bythe* American Minister. A countryman of mine, he writes. As such I am pleased to see you, Sir, for when abroad the mere' name ot American—is an open texetme toAmerican sympathy and hospitality. Pray be seated, Mt. Laurence. Pardon me, not that stiff-backed ancient contrivance of tortare, wliich must have boon invented by Eymeric. You will find that green velvetVoltaire,-like*lt* namesake,—tar more easy,—affording ample latitude.’ The sweet Toiee sung its silver chimes asclearly at when she trod the stage, and no shadow of ths past cast its dusky wing over her proud pale face, while she gracefullywaved him to a seat, and resumed her own. •If Madame Orme, so recently from home, yields readily to the talismanio spellof 'American'—she ean perhaps imagine ths fascinatioa it exerts over one who formany years has roamed far from hie roof­tree, and hie baarthatoue; bat who never more proudly exulted iu his natioeelitythan last nighL—when as Queen Tragedy —Madame lent her lustre to the Land that ' claims the honor of being her birth-place.’• Thank*. Than I may infer you paid me tho tribute qf yew presence last even­ ing ?’They looked across the table, into each other's eyes, hen radiant with a danger-oua, steely glitter,—his eloquent with the * intense admiration which kindled on the previous evening,—now glowed morei fervently from the eontemptelion of a 1 beauty that to-day appeared ton-fold merei irresistible. The question slightly discon- i oivtod bins. ' • I had the honor of eooompauying ourI Minister, and sharing hla box,’ » * Indeed f I have never bad th» pleasureof messing Mm, aqd hoped to hive sera > turn to-day, as he fixed thia hear for the ■ arrangement of some fcueiaeoa details, con-i eeming which, I was advised to counit I him.

Of this flattering distinction, I confess I am very proud.'It was a bold challenge, and sincerely he rued his rashness, when raising herself haughtily, she answered iu a tone that made hta cheeks tingle:• Unfortunately your countrywc-man has not studied human nature so superficiallyas to fail to comprehend the snares and pitfalls which men’s egregious vanity some­ times spring prematurely; and rumourquotes me aright, iu proclaiming mu a re­ cluse when the curtain falls, and the lights are extinguished. /To-day I deviated frommy usual custom, in compliment to the represeatat’ve of iny country, who send* yon,—so his card reads—‘charged with anexplanation of his unavoidable absence.* As Minister-extraordinary, may I venture to remind Mr. Laurance of his errand ?*Abashed by tho scornful gleam in her keen wide eyes, ho replied hastily : • A telegram from Pau summoned himthis morniug to the bedside of a member of his family, suddenly attacked with dan­ gerous illness, and he desired mo to assureyou so soob as he returned ho would seize tho earliest opportunity of congratulating you upon your brilliant Iriumph. Iu theinterim that he places at your disposal certain printed regulations which will sup­ply the information you desire—and which you wfll find in this envelope. May I hope Madame that the value of the contents willsuccessfully plead the pardon of tho audac­ ious—yet sufficiently rebuked unssangTf ? He rose and with a princely bow offeredtho packet. Suffering her eyes to follow the motion of bis eleganty-forinod "aristocratic hand,row ungloved,—one swift glance showed her that instead of the unpretending slen­ der gold circlet she bad placed on tho littleEager of his loft baud, the day of their marriage,—a ring endeared to her because it had been her Mother's bridal pledge,—he now wore a flashing diamond in a broad aud costly setting. Almost u nconsciously her own left hand glided to tho voilcts onher breast,—beneath which securely fasten­ed by a strong gold chain, she wore the antique cameo rin,wilh its grinning deaths- head resting upon her breast.Slightly inclining her head she signed to to him place the papers on the table, and when ho bad resumed his seat, sbo ask­ed :How long Mr. Laurance since you left America ?' • Tbiriecn or fourteen years ago; yetthe memories of my homo are fresh aud fragrant as though I quitted it only yester­ day.’• Thea hapoy indeed must have been that haarthstone, whoso roso-colored remin­ iscences Huger so tenderly around yonrheart, and survive the attention of a long residence in Paris.

The stinging sarcasm in the liquiivoice per plexed him, and the strange lam bent light that seemed now and then to ra; out of the brilliant eyes that ba'd nevewandered from his, sent an uncomfortabl thrill over him. 1 Surely the world eannot have erred, inaccording to my own country the honor n your nationality.' • I was born upon a French ship in thmiddle of the Atlantic ocean.' • Ah, dearest Madam 1 then it is no mar vel that aa you have inherited she eestns cAphrodite, your votiuie* bow a* blindly, ahelplesslv as thou ever whom your aocian Greek mother ruled so despotically.

R. Daly, Presidant, adjourned until twe o’clock, when the annual address was de­ livered by Prof. Bell, of Albert University. The following gentlemen are fo town for the purpose of attending the Convention: —Hon. X. A. Willard, D. H. Burrell, of L’.ttie Falls, N. Y.; E- CassweU, James Naxou, D. 8. McDonald, and J. 0.

Andereon, Anuliasburg, aqd many other prominent dairynjou, Tha Convention reassembled at two o’clock, the attendance being much more -numerous than at tha morning session Several ladies were prenut amongst audience. THE PRKSIDEXT'B SPEECH. . The President on taking th* chair, dressed the Convention as follows Gentlemen,—It is with much pleasure I meet you and extend to you a cordial wel­ come to this our tenth annual Convention. The annual address, aa has been tha custom fur tho last few years will be delivered by our able and much esteemed friend Prof. Bell. He will no doubt give you a full re- cord of the events of the year just passed so far as it has bren connected with tha dairy interest in this Province, and from the number of scientific and practical dairy­ men and gentlemen that I see present,imd that hare promised to be with us daring this Convention, I am confident that we shall have an interesting and profitable meeting. The Local Committee have spared no pains to procure the beat talent available. It is a matter of regret that a number of genttameu who would have been of great asiirtance to us have been kept away by important business. Our annual meetings are each succeeding year assum­ ing more aud more importance. They are invaluable to the dairyman and manufac­ turer and it is now admitted on all hand* that they are as much required for dissem­ inating knowledge as our Model Schools for training teachers. The rapid develop­ ment of this industry, and the vast impor­ tance that it ba* assumed, fully evinces the wisdom of tho Government in giving it a fostering care and increasing the annual grant. Thanks to the Dominion aa well as to our Provincial Government,we have been able to win (be most grrtifying laurels at the competing display of ths industries of the world. A full report of our position at tho Centennial will ba laid before you be, fore the oloie of ;bi* Convention, and while with pride I refer to oqr success, I sincere- ly hope that we, os dairymen an^ mana- faotnrcrs, will not imagine that wo are per­ fection iu oar business and do not require any more knowledge, for, from a full re­ view of tho subject, 1 am ffouvinced that it will require the united efforts of our intel- ligmt dairymen to educate tho masses suf* fisiently to make our business a cootjugsd aud grand success. In my opinion it would bs well for this Assoeistion to memorial, ixe tho Provincial Government to establish an experimental butter and cheese factory at the Model Farm, as the scientific experi­ ments conducted there would be made known to all and not confined to tha lew or to the solitary individual, as is now too often th* cue. He concluded by calling on Prof. Bell to deliver THE. ANNUAL ADDRESS. Prof. Bell on coming forward, waa re- sieved with applause. He annoqnoed ibe subject as “ Canadian oheese aud batter al bome.at the Centennial exhibition, and fa England/' He compared the dairy business , to a stream, which atarifag at a liny brook gradually swells out to a mighty river. . Witbin th* short period of fifteen years tbs 1 dairy business had, become one of th* moot ' important of the country. He went on to speak of cheese at home, saying that hi* ■ inquiries bad not fa all case* been suawer- «d, but he bad obiained sufficient to form reliable detail*. He proceeded to my that the season of 1876 waa far from being faverabl* to th* interests of ths dairymen. | Tha long continued dry weather which pre- vail during nearly tbs whole of the spring and summer months not only naturally de- oreaaed tha flow of milk, but parched up the pasturca to snob a degree a* to diminish the quantity of eh**** and baltor-ntakieg matter which it ooataiaed, while th* exees- jlivebrat ot the weather wu squally adverse to tb* production of a fir»t-rato quality of either artiol*. After tbs rain earns indeed both the qoaatity aud quality unproved andthe fall tnako might be amimed gs a fair average, though it would by bo meansmake up th* deficit at the early part of theseason, notwithstanding that fifteen naw factories have been pnt fa operationfa the course of the year, th* total produc­ tion exhibit* a considerable felling off from that ot 1875- The returns X have got £romth* Eastern district compared with those of last year ar* w fallows, taking i^aas fint— Call and be convinced that CLARK A BARKER givekmm valuta tFxvte tka tkaa uaw *g „,r- - h »—----** er Sa* frills *at aor **O«iaa raa Oataiawa P* Ma«r-*sc-s af all d-eotpUsms^tMd S F F 1 TnT G - B E E MANUFACTURED ON THB PREMUUN. iromoe, (hl Paintinm and Odt Mouldings always m Stock.

The Enjdfoh dairyman WBMfoitow. Tbs poeitfon of Canadian cboau at the Centennial had bren as gratifying as aston­ ishing, it having been feared that Can*,diana could not succeed against such well ‘skilled competitors. Thia had made the ' Canadian* lukewarm, bat the result proved ■ that our people had undervalued ibo skill of ) their operatoni and tb* product of tbefr cows, Osnada having fairly beaten all sec-lions of the United States, the procentaz* per posribfo one hundred points being 87points for Canada against 70 f;r theiropponents, in feet three specimens of obese* shown by Mr. Ballantyne, M.P.P., of Stratford, were adjudged to be perfect. The manner of making the awards wu then . explained, frequent applause greeting theProfessor’s remarks anent the sqoeesi of Canadians at the Centennial. The manu­facturers of the United States made their choose smaller than cure, and Prof. Arnold attributed much of oar success of the adop­tion of the Cheddar system, and be (the speaker) agreed with him. Onr suoces* atthe Centennial would have a most benefi­cial effect in the E iglish mxrket. He re­ gretted that the dairymen of this section had not entered into the competition at theCentennial. If they ha I they would have pushed their western friends very closely.Ho would not exult ovtr thu triumph wenover our neighbors but for whoso elampleCanada would not now bo a cheese-mana, featuring country to any groat extent The 'Canadian rooster mast, however, be allow­ ed to mmut his fence and crow forth hi* satisfaction. (Applaase). Oar display ofbatter had not been suceessfal either fa quality or extent, and it had beer de­ monstrated thereby that too much salt wasas bad aa too little. He advocated the establishment of butter factories, as a more uniform quality ia thereby secured. TheProfessor then spoke of his visit to Phil­ adelphia a* a representative of the Canadian Dairymen’s Association, and spoke varyhighly of the gathering of dairymen and of the character of the papers read there. Mqcb valuable dairy apparatus was ex­hibited, soma of which he described. Mr. Pope, the American Commissioner, spoke vary highly ef Canadian dairymen andthe excellence of their goods. The show of Canadian frails was very fine although not so large as some of the western exhibit*were, yet superior ia flavor. The Australian wheat was magnificent. The exertions of Messrs. Casswell and B dlantyae werehighly spoken of aud credit accorded them for math of the success of the Canadian exhibit of dairy product*. The holding iaCanada of the convention of the American Dairyman’s Association wa* next alluded to as a pleasant mark of fraternal fooling.Canadian cheese now atood equal to the best United States make fa the English markets, and its position would be betteredby the success at tbs Centennial. Tho uniform quality of Canadian cheese wascommended. It wai largely due, as point­ed out by Prof. Arnold, t* tho honesty of the patron* of the factories. It nowremains for CauA'liansto taka coiumvud of tho market to which wa uro entitled, nrt only by the cxcrihnce of onr good*, butalso Ly onr conqcftjm with the mother country. Iu order to do this, tho quality of tho goods must be kept up. an I improv­ed if possible, and above all, means mustb» tiVm to identify our productions. Every Canadian dairyman must iqark biseJietso “Canadian," as if simply marked 11 Ontario” it w ent iu ae American, against which cheese there is a prejudice. Ou thelatter point he read a portion of a letter from Mr. Ashley’s factory, near Smith-vPle, having then adjudged by a connois­ seur to be equal to th* best English. Candadiao butter was also rapidly assum­ing a belter position fa the markets of England, aud was likely to still further im­ prove aa it becamo better known. Hourged th* establishment of butter factorit* and the making of “gilt-edged” butter. Canadians had the ball at their feet, and itwas their owu fault if they did not keep it rolling. Loud applaused greeted tho Professor ashe cloud. A GENERAL DISCUSSION. Mr. James Noxon, fa moving a vote ofthanks, stated that fa former times the boat quality of Canadian cheese had been bought up by New York buyers, who brand­ed it American and sent forward the worst of their own product as Canadian. Owing to this practice tb* impression had been' created iu Europe that Canarian cbeeee ' was little better tbs* poison. They had, iu order to redress this grievance, stopped, using the American route, and their efforts had been successful, though that success oould not have been achieved without theaid of the Dairymen’s Association. Fol- i lowing (.bi’’, the character of our product I had been improved to tocb an extent that» ready sale had been. found, and the ‘ country was now dotted wish factoriM. * Ha referred to the display at the Centen-■ nial, for which he said great credit wa* (due to the Canadian dairymen for haring . captured the prize* and attained to thehighest standard of excellence. It waaI their duty to maintain their superiority. . As a meaas to this end he trusted that this. Government wonld Mtabliah a dairy station in eonneetion with th* Agricultural College ,• under the charge ef a thoroughh cojp- I peteut man, who wonfa fastruct alf dairy- ' meu who needed Im aid. Failing this it I would be for tha dairymen fo consider thepropriety of employing a manwfacturer to go from one end of tha Province to theotaer to give taetruction where needed. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Professor Bell. Mr. Harrington, who seconded the tno-tioo, urged that labor and care were the only means whereby they oould maintain the superiority gained ever the Americans.Onr pealnree were excellent, befog cleaner the# ihoea of the United State*. Daring th* 4ry season oats or p*M should be tedto keep up ths flow of milk. Hhe m->tiou having been carried aud Professor Bull having returned thanks, adiscussi m took place on the quantity of product, tn the source of which th* falterfeeding of sows iu the winter eeasou wa* «rg*i as -ot prime nireewiy fa order to Have tbe animals fo good trim for oommene-iig the smhmni’s milking, and the advioa W46041U tor syatein and bolding annual XMdiisga.

The evening session was commenced at 8o’clock.Mr. J. M. Paters, of New York read a pa­ per cm the commercial aspect of the dairy.He said that a oonaidarable variation had oc­curred in tho production of butter and cheese between Ibid and 1875. The receipts of but­ter in Now York last year had been 1,300,000against 1,!QQ,000 the year previous. Thochemo production had fallen off about 25 per cent, thq stbek ofbubter on hand was largerthan forsome years part, and prices had rangedfrom eighteen to twenty-six cents. Fair grades now brought fourteen to twenty-sixcents. The stock in England was about thesame as that of last year. The western men had driven tbeTNew York shippers out of thebusitresr of fui nishing the southern trade. Ofoleomargarine butter there is produced by sixfactories near New York 3.000 firkins per week. This butter largely affected the localtrade, and ho rcooaimendcd that its makersbe made to brand it properly. Receipts of cbeem hail fallen off 100,000 boxes, a id of ex­perts 72,000 boxes. There had been a gooddmnaatl for white cheese, and home consump­ tion had increased. For skimmed and partlyskimaaod cheese there had been a smaller in­quiry than in p* evious years. The combina­ tion factories had increased in number, butthey -were not in all cases satisfactory. Thespeaker continued, urging the cheese produc­ ers of Catuula to endeavor to continue to pro­gress, as success lay only in nntiring efforts tokeep up the standard of their product, and to diversify their industry by making more but­ter and-less cheeseA vote of thanks wm passed to Mr. Petersattbe elosj of his address.Hon. X. A. Willard^tBtn spoke on thephilosophy u£ curing cheese. He said that the Lqakv who had really made a tirst-class articlefatuid. his labor spoiled in the caring room.Tim chief objections to American dices e weretint it was of an interior flavor, bad texture, and decayed too rapidly,* and tho stagnationin Hie market wm owing to the great quanti­ty of poorly mods whole milk cheese. They should improve the flavor of their cheese, andmake it so that it woald keep better. In Eng­land the price of the best cheese had not varied for years, only in inferior choose had varia­tions taken peace. He urged the improve-mont of tho quality, and rocommsuded curing in cvqp temperature, not more than 75 norleu than 70 and in atmosphere not too dry.American clfeeso is too dry generally,which u n» ised by too rapid evaporation in early stages■>f caring. A bitter taste is developed by nn-evou temperature. In intensely hot weather the flavor of cheese is rank, and to obviate this,• . lie recommends I that each factory shouldhave a refrigerating room, in which the tern-jierataro should be kept at not over 60 degrees. H&-hal experimented in this himself withseooeu, having cured July and August cheese* so as tu keep well and lose less by three per cent, than ns ordinarily cured. Green cheeseithould not be kept in the same room as cured cImkmu.After some discussion on the paper read byMr. Willard, the (Convention adjourned unblten o'clock to-morrow. MbRNING SESSION.

Harris Lewis referred to the difficul­ ties which had attended the American displayof American products at the Centennial Exhi­bition, and remarked that personal jealousieshad largely prevented its succesa. If the same unanimity and good feeling had charac-te bed the action of Americaa dairymen ashad distinguished their Canadian brethren,the latter would have come out with fewerhonors. He rejoiced at the success of theCanadians, but would have been much better6eased if the Americans had beaten them. e paid a high compliment to the manner inwhich the Canadian Commission, and especial­ly Mr. Casswell, had managed their display. The Convention then adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Conventioif resumed at 1.30 o'clock.ProL Bell, in a brief address, advocated themanufacture of whey and milk sugar as pro­ fitable additions to the dairy interest Theprocess was a very simple one.• Mr. Ira Morgan, President of the Agricul­ ture and Arts Association then addreMcd theConvention. He referred to the display made by Canada at the Centennial Exhibition, andthat out of fifty-five specimens of cattle sentthere fifty-two had obtained awards. Anumber or prizes had also been taken in sheep and swine. Ho hoped all the prize takerswould make it a point to attend the banquetto be given at Ottawa, whin the prizes would be awarded.A vote of thanka was tendered to Mr. Mor­gan for his address. FOOD AXD HANAUEUKNT OF DAIKY COWS. Hon. Harris Lewis addressed the Conven­tion on this subject Plenty of good food and careful treatment were absolutely essential inorder to obtain good milk, and without goodmilk they could not expect to have first-class cheese. Dairy cows should not bo confinedto the stall in the spring an hour longer thanwas necessary. Change of posture tended tomake cows discontented. Abundance of grass should bo supplied them. Their habitsshould be studied and their wishes gratified.He did not approve very much of corn as food for dairy cows, having found that they .werereduced in flesh and milk when kept on suchfood. The cow herself was the best judge of her own food, and showed her preference byher actions Dairy cows should be fed andmilked at exact times, and should be allowedsufficient rest for rumination. Brutality in the treatment of cows should never be toler­ated Cows should be milked each day inthe asm e order. They should never be milked in wooden vessels but in tin pails. The scrumof the milk became imbedded in the minutepores of wooden pails, and remained tbsre until the next milking, in spite of hot water.This was a fruitful source of tainted milk, and consequently of floating curds and bail cheese.CleauuneM in milking should be carefully ob­served. H« reganlvd corn stalks as superior to stone walls as food for cows and aboutequal to basswood shavings.The Convention, on motion, then passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Lewis for his address.After tlic uiusl discussion on Grass vs.Corn for food fur cows. Mr. K, Graham moved a vote of thanks toMr. E. Casswell, of Ingersoll, for his servicesin connection with the Canadian dairy displayat the Centennial. He spoke in high terms"of praise ot the ability, energy, aud soundjudgment displayed by Mr.Cauwell as Chair­man of the Committee. Hon. Mr. Lewis, in seconding the motiontestified, from personal observation, to Mr,C’asswcll’s strenuous efforts to secure succtss. for the Canadian display of dairy products.Prof. Bell also spoke in eulogistic terms nfMr. Casswcll’s well directed efforts, and said that Canadian dairymen should express theirgratitude in a form more substantial than aa ote of thanks. Mr, Farrington strongly supported Prof.Ecll’s suggestion, aud said that Mr. Caaswell1 ud been tho means of adding to the value ofevery acre of dairy land in the country,Mr. Ashley said that the dairymen of thisdistrict bad been rather dilatory in regard tothe display of cheese at the Centennial Ex­ hibition and the whole Province shared thehonors which had been gained. He thoughtEastern dairymen should not be alow in show­ing their gratitude to Mr. Casswell for hisrrvilble, loss of time, and his strenuous exer­ tions.The President iL?n;tht that Ingersoll andtho districts surrounding it had some advan­ tages in regard to tho Centennial displayover the eastern sections, owing to the greaterfacility in communicating with ths dairymen, and showing them tho advantages of tho dis­play. Hi entirely concurred in tho propriety of the dairymen joining in a testiniouial toMr, Cteewell.The motion was adopted with applause,Mr. Casswell, after thanking the Conven­ tion for their kinduoes, said that the easternsection liad bsen under no diaadvsutigo sofar M tho action of the officers of the Aasocia-Uuu or the Committees were concerned. Tho dairymen themselves, both East and West,were to blame, if any one was, for the diffi­culty which had boon experienced in arousing them to the advantages of making a good dis­play. After a vote of thanks to the retiring Presi­dent, the Convention adjourned.
